Hi Roland,

another LDCad scripting question for you.

I'm trying to write a script which will loop, prompt the user to select a particular part and then wait until the part is selected before moving to the next prompt/part selection. Looking through the sample Lua scripts, they seem to expect any part selections to be done prior to invoking the macro. But I'd like to have a script which will prompt the user as they go, so they don't have to remember the order in which to select the parts.

The Lua script I am using is invoked as a macro and looks something like this (it has been simplified to assist in understanding its purpose):

Hi Roland,

with 1.7 scripting API in LDCad, is it possible to pass an argument to a macro when it is run? For example, if I have a macro named:

我想制作曲柄摇杆机构的动画，但一直没有合适的方法。我希望你能我。最好有脚本模板，帮助像附件。

非常感谢您

Even though I set LDView to display contour lines, I do not see these in the exported snapshots.
Is this even possible in LDView? In my mind, the definition of "snapshot" meant something closer to a screen capture. The only two reason I'm not actually capturing my screen and re-cropping the image later on is that I want large detailed images and I use transparent bricks.
Additionally, is it possible to get monochrome part faces (no lighting, just plain colours... as in a cartoon?)
Thanks.

Hello LDraw community.

I would like to know if someone is currently working on a .dat for the element ID 72224pb03 (The lower jaw of the latest Ninjago dragons)
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...3#T=C&C=69


I want to use the piece in the short-term, but I haven't found it in any 3D software library yet. As I don't own the physical part, I am unable to take precise measures and/or proper reference material to sculpt my own version in Blender.


Thank you in advance for any help you could provide.

Prepare to hear something ridiculous...
I lost my LDraw library. Can't remember where I put it on my PC anymore.
I remember doing a manual installation for some nerdy reason and, therefore, my parts library is perhaps not at the default location where the AIOI would have put it...
Is there any way to find the folder where I put my official parts via any LDraw program's preferences settings? I currently have LDView, LDCad, MLCad and LeoCAD installed (all are working properly.) I would like to find my parts library for two main reasons: LPub3D is begging me to, and I would like to add custom parts to it as well.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers. ?

Here's the link to the part on BrickLink: [url=https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=15424#T=C][/url]part 15424



There's also a version with a printed star in front (distributed in black.)



Thanks.

Hello,

Thanks again for creating my previous requested parts.

I'd like to request Friends Puppy Poodle 11575 for the next set 41007 in Friends OMR project.

I'll try to make printed patterns, so the part body is sufficient.

If I'm not going mad, there's something amiss with part 2907 in the library.

Check out the Rebrickable entry—all the images there, even their rendering of the LDraw part, show the grooves rotated 22.5° from where they are in the actual library part. Did this get changed during some update? Is there a different version of the part somewhere else?

From the photo, it's clear that the grooves, not the fins, should be at the 8 compass points.
